Fahnestock, Robb sweep the weekend at the Grove

Maple Grove Raceway – Reading, Pa: The Mid Atlantic .90 Association kicked off it’s 2022 season in fine style at Maple Grove Raceway in Reading, Pa. A stout field of Division 1’s finest showed up to battle it out for the North vs. South trophy at days end. This year president Rob Keister & vice-president Dana Leone took on additional responsibility as they added Junior Dragsters & The Top Challenge series to their already growing resume to offer even more racing for those on the east coast.
Saturday – Race # 1

On Saturday, track temperatures in the 120+ degree range had everyone searching for shade and comfort by days end but, it was a pair of locals and a newbie to the .90 world that would be sitting pretty at days end.

Super Gas - Local racer Kevin Robb took his A-1 Motorsports 63 Corvette to victory in Super Gas over New York’s George Stacks Monte Carlo. Stack got the hole shot at the tree (.037 to .066) but, was not able to run the number giving it back to Robb at the finish line 9.916 to a losing 9.973.

Super Comp - The other local racer was Chase Fahnestock out of Hummelstown. Fahnestock, who has had remarkable success at the Reading, Pa track would lay down an 8 thousandth package in the final to John Martin from New Jersey. Martin was no slouch at a .011 light but, the .006 & 8.902 package that Fahnestock put up made Martin Mathematically ineligible.

Super Street - The first-time victor came in a battle of Atco Dragway Saturday Night bracket racers as Dave Nahill from Delran, NJ took down Dom Burgese from Williamstown, NJ. Nahill hit the tree with a .002 and never looked back as he paced himself to a 10.927 to a breakout 10.892 victory over Burgese for his first victory in only his fifth 10.90 event.

Sunday – Race # 2

The heat did not let up on the staff and drivers on Sunday as another muggy day welcomed the drivers at the PA Facility. In a repeat of Saturday’s events both Kevin Robb and Chase Fahnestock found their way to the final round yet again looking for the elusive double up over the weekend.

Super Gas- First up was Robb, as he once again wheeled the A-1 Motorsports Corvette to the final round this time matching up against another Maple Grove regular and Jake Barbato. This time the final was decided at the tree as Barbato pushed it a little too hard going -.009 red handing the victory to Robb.

Super Comp- Looking to join him again in the winner circle was Fahnestock, the only thing standing in the way was Rich Leone. Fahnestock & Leone were dead even on the tree (Both .012) but, Fahnestock took the double breakout victory with a 8.895 to 8.883 victory.

Super Street - In Super Street it was Jay Neville taking his first victory in over years in his Deguara & Neville Camaro. In the final Tommy Muller was looking to stop him in his 57 Chevy. Muller got the jump at the start (.031 to .046) but, broke out with a 10.894 as Neville followed him through to a 10.947 victory.

The next stop for the .90 crew is in 3 weeks at Cecil County Dragway on July 16th & 17th and the Quick Challenge will run 1 event as part of the Super Chevy event on July 22nd to 24th. For more information you can reach out to Rob Keister at BKSG1198@gmail.com.
